Stopgap funding bill's hemp troubles aren't over
House Republicans are weighing a short delay to the hemp ban as they seek to avert a partial shutdown and manage internal party resistance.
- House GOP leadership faces a balancing act next month as they work to avert a partial government shutdown while navigating internal tensions over a Senate-proposed one-month delay to a ban on intoxicating hemp-derived products.
- A federal ban on intoxicating hemp-derived products takes effect on November 12, stemming from legislative language included in last year's agriculture spending measure.
- Rep. Andy Harris, House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee chair, is pushing to strike the delay from the Senate's bill, citing concerns about unregulated intoxicating products causing hospitalizations.
- To prevent a government shutdown, leadership must pass a stopgap funding measure by December 11, even as House Republicans remain divided on whether to accept the Senate's proposed delay.
- Beyond the funding deadline, lawmakers continue to debate a longer-term regulatory framework for the hemp market, balancing immediate legislative needs against the contested status of intoxicating products.
